adkkev...The answer to your question is an emphatic NO. As a recent letter to the editor pointed out, since the Nov election, many of the LH editorials have been actually embarrassing due to inaccuracies and lack of research...it's no wonder none of the LH staff will put their names after an editorial. @Scarecrow...I want to see how you respond to Dave!...The only thing worse than a gridlocked/stalmated Congress incapable of making any decision, is an incompetent Congress making poor decisions. It's no wonder their approval rating is in single digits.

Removing the filibuster is removing the voice of the people. A minority still has a right to be heard and a filibuster is one of to little leverage available to use to have their voice heard. Removing the filibuster is akin to ruling the people with an iron fist.

Does this newspaper ever bother to research the editorials they publish? Seriously? I refer to this article: ***********lasvegassun****/news/2013/jan/24/senate-approves-modest-not-sweeping-changes-filibu/ It appears that the filibuster changes have been passed by pretty wide margins.

Congress is supposed to be a legislative body where political ideals are compromised to pass needed legislation. As we all know, it's not happening. Could it be that Reid bypassed the committee system 70 times because of the Republicans record setting use of the filibuster?
